Star Fox Zero

Yesterday, Nintendo of America revealed a commercial for Star Fox Zero, which comes out in less than two weeks worldwide. It features the same puppets Nintendo used to introduced the game at E3 (and which were made by the Jim Henson Studios)!

Here it is:

Star Fox Zero (Wii U) comes out on April 21st in Japan, and April 22nd in Europe and North America.

Super Mario Maker

In the past few weeks/months, Nintendo has been deleting some Super Mario Maker courses without warning. It’s actually not a bug, but something pretty deliberate. The company updated its Support Page, explaining the reasons that could lead one of your courses to be deleted:

Low stars/plays

After a fixed period of time, courses with low stars/plays will be automatically deleted from the server.

Bugs

Courses that include bugs that were unintended by either the course creator or the developers will be deleted. It’s important that we remove levels with bugs quickly, because letting these levels remain in Course World can lead to negative outcomes for many players such as players experiencing levels in unfair ways that the original course creator did not intend, or re-writing “World Record” times.

Requesting stars from other users

Courses that are explicitly asking for stars from other players will be deleted. For example, using words such as “Like”, “Yeah!”, and the “★” symbol in their course names. Please change the course name when saving a course that includes these words.

Inappropriate Content

Courses that contain something inappropriate, such as offensive language or phrases will be deleted.
